In this study of the rabbinic heretics who believed in "Two powers in heaven", Alan Segal explores some relationships between rabbinic Judaism, Merkabah mysticism, and early Christianity. Segal reconstructs the development of the heresy through dating of the stages of the rabbinic traditions.

Segal reconstructs the development of the "two powers in heaven" heresy through prudent dating of the stages of the rabbinic traditions. Segal stresses the importance of perceiving the relevance of rabbinic material for solving traditional problems of New Testament and gnostic scholarship, and at the same time maintains the necessity of reading those literatures for dating rabbinic material.

Please note that Two Powers in Heaven was previously published by Brill in hardback, ISBN 90 04 05453 7 (no longer available).

Alan Segal is Professor of Religion at Barnard College, Columbia University.
